If you eat processed foods out of boxes, cans, jars, and packages, you must watch That Sugar Film, an amusing, new shockumentary (shocking documentary), which reveals how eating allegedly “healthy foods” can, in fact, demolish your health.

Clearing the Sweetener Confusion

One of my closest friends—a smart, health-conscious, exercise enthusiast—recently texted me questions about alternative sweeteners while she was planning to create a healthy dessert for a birthday dinner party.

“What about agave?” she texted me.

“No! The Worst!” I text-replied.

She was perplexed.

“Is agave low-glycemic or not?” she text-quizzed me.

“It doesn’t matter,” I answered.

“High in fructose…. Will send you articles soon.”

Stay away from agave, because it’s very high in fructose… maybe even more than high fructose corn syrup. Connie Bennett, Author, Sugar Shock

Healthy, Sugar-Free, Dessert Recipes on the Way: Share Yours, Too

Soon, you’ll get recipes for tasty, nutritious, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free desserts, which also do NOT contain potentially harmful artificial-sweeteners or, for that matter, any other sweetener, besides those produced by nature.

Creating healthy, but scrumptious desserts has been a pet project of mine, which, unfortunately, due to a variety of deadlines, I’ve had to shelve many times over the years. (Ever since I first quit sugar and other sweeteners on doctor’s orders in 1998, I’ve been gathering or concocting delicious, sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free desserts.)

Soon, I’ll be sharing some of these Sweet, Sugar-Free Desserts with you.

Although centuries ago, dogs weren’t considered man’s best friend, in recent times, pets have become wildly popular.

In the United States alone, people own some 70 to 80 million dogs and 74 to 96 million cats, which means 37 to 47 percent of U.S. households have a dog, and 30 to 37% own a cat, according to the American Pet Products Association.

You pet owners have other reasons to rejoice. Appreciating and playing with your canine or feline friend improves your health.

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, ‘Wow, you’re right!…’” Dave Barry

I’m stumped as to what to do with this handy, reliable, over-used book, which I’ve marked up and reused repeatedly since I first received it in October or November 2006, soon before it was published by Berkley Books.

I imagine that you’re wondering how I realized that I’d overdosed on hidden sugars without even knowing it. Well, my reaction to the toxic sweets was quite dramatic. In fact, you, too, could be suffering from Sneaky Hidden Sugars but not even know it.

About Me

I'm a former sugar-journalist, who grudgingly kicked sugar on doctor's orders in 1998. After my 44 debilitating ailments vanished, I became energized and determined to dig up the sour news about sugar. In 2006, my first book, Sugar Shock (Berkley Books), woke people up to the many dangers of sugar overload. My most recent book, Beyond Sugar Shock (Hay House, 2012), gives readers a simple, proven plan to easily release your sugar habit.

I'm now completing my next book, Crush Your Crazy Carb Cravings™, which gives you quick, easy tools to conquer your junk-food-now urges.
I was inspired to write this after my Crazy Cravings™ after the difficult death of my mother in 2012. I'm also planning the first Sugar World Summit, which will feature 40 gurus to help you Get a Sweeter Life Naturally™.

About Me

Now I'm known as an Accidental Sugar Liberator, but in 1998, I was a sugar-addicted journalist, plagued by 44 mysterious ailments. After I very reluctantly quit sweets and refined carbohydrates on on doctor's orders, ALL of my baffling symptoms -- from ferocious headaches, to heart palpitations to nagging brain fog -- completely vanished! Driven by my new passion to dig up the sour news about sweets, I interviewed hundreds of people for my books, Sugar Shock (Berkley Books, December 2006) and Beyond Sugar Shock (Hay House, 2012). One or both books were endorsed by many gurus, including Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Dr. Daniel Amen, and Dr. Christiane Northrup. Now, I'm also a transformational speaker, Gab with the Gurus host, a certified health coach and certified life coach. I'm now planning the first Sugar World Summit, and I'm writing my next book, Crush Your Crazy Carb Cravings™.
